Why Fire Attorney General for only "MISCONDUCT"?

I am of the opinion that the claims that the Hon. Minister of Justice and Attorney General's Department (now fired by His Excellency the President), Mr. Martin Amidu, should not only be fired not

"...as a result of Mr Amidu’s misconduct at a meeting last Friday, January 13th, 2012 presided over by His Excellency."

I believe that the reason for which he was fired, as stated by the letter, is preposterous and an affront to opinion held by many Ghanaians. Of course, our opinions mean nothing to powerful people. I think the Attorney general should be fired for his wild unsubstantiated claims. Is that what the presidency calls "misconduct at a meeting...presided over by His Excellency"??? I don't know. If so, why not state that in the letter.

I also believe that the Mr. Amidu should be made, somehow, by an investigative body, to give evidence of those he labelled "criminal" and the "colleague Ministers" who help cover up "gargantuan crimes" against the people of Ghana. I think sacking him is the easiest thing to do. It is like throwing someone in prison for stealing billions of state money. How do we get the money back? We should get that money back (and even make him walk free, instead of using state money to feed him in jail). Similarly, Mr. Amidu should be made to give us the evidence.

As it stands, it won't happen. there isn't any clear directive in the letter that discharged him of his duties that he should give evidence anywhere or a state body should investigate. For heaven's sake, he was an Attorney General and Minister of Justice, number one legal man in the Government of Ghana!
